Wightman Road Safety Audit
Thanks to Ant at the Harringay Ladder Living Streets Group for the following.
After the changes to Wightman Rd, to add all the wiggly sticking out bits, there was an independent safety audit done. It s taken a some time to get hold of it, here it is attached.
In a nutshell, I think it says there are parts that are now not safe. The council have proposed some remedies, some of those are deemed not good enough.
One of the remedies is for the council to monitor reports of near misses for a year to see if there really is a problem. Pretty much every time I ve used Wightman on bike or driving I ve had some near misses - a close pass, or having to brake to avoid oncoming traffic entering my side, so might be worth finding out what would be classified as a near miss and how to report them.
